Sourdough starter: day five and a half

Apologies for the lack of update on baby starter yesterday, but it was a stressful day. Looking at the pictures on Baker and Loaf I clearly had a problem. Baby starter was, how can I put it tactfully? Sleeping? Well, an extra feed and it's definitely perked up a lot. She's just taking things at her own pace, and so the Pantry starter is officially a day behind everyone else's. Epic. But it's much better to take time and have a lovely starter rather than bake... well a frisbee. Not that I've ever done that. Nope not me. Nor wholemeal rolls as hard as bullets. Never. I don't know what you mean *avoids eye contact*

So, today me and baby starter are taking a chance. We're going to progress on. Yes we are. Yes we can! And we're also moving into the bathroom where the tumble dryer makes it a little warmer.

My only question - which I will be tweeting presently: What do I do with the rest of the starter? 25g is going into a new bowl, but what about the rest?

And there we have it. Day five and a half of the #sourdoughtweetalong courtesy of Baker and Loaf. Tomorrow I do believe we're baking. Hopefully you're as excited as I am.
